Kylian Mbappé’s escapade with his girlfriend, Ester Exposito, caused a lot of talk this weekend in Spain and forced Alvaro Arbeloa, the Madrid coach, to make an adjustment.

Kylian Mbappé made headlines again this weekend. The former Parisian is however on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury and was therefore not on the Espanyol Barcelona pitch for the 34the day of La Liga, which saw the Merengue win 2-0.

If the Real striker has been talked about, it is because of his trip to Sardinia with Spanish actress Ester Exposito. The couple is no longer hiding but this escapade was not to the taste of many Madrid supporters, who did not fail to express their disapproval on social networks.

“While his teammates struggle in the home stretch of the season, the highest paid player in the squad doesn’t really care”, “You’re injured, you let your teammates down, we suppose you’re supposed to be spared to recover as quickly as possible and you go to Cagliari to party with Ester Exposito. This is indefensible. Zero IQ”, “He doesn’t care about the club at all. He only thinks about himself…”, “He doesn’t learn from his mistakes, it’s dramatic”… These were some of the reactions on social networks.

“Each player does what he sees fit in his free time”

Alvaro Arbeloa had nothing to complain about. “The management of injured players is entirely the responsibility of the Real Madrid medical staff, who determine when they must travel to Valdebebas and when they are not allowed to do so. explained the Madrid coach after the success in Catalonia. Other than that, each player does what they see fit in their free time, and I can’t intervene in that. »

According to the former defender, Kylian Mbappé could also be back for the clash against FC Barcelona next weekend. “After last week’s exams, we thought his absence would be a little longer, but we’ll see how that evolves”he confided.
